Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Mahmoud Khalil: Columbia’s “singular concern has always been the vitality of its financial profile, not the safety of Jewish students. This is why Columbia was all too happy to embrace a superficial progressive agenda while still disregarding Palestine, & this is why it will soon turn on you, too.”

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Fuck this shit every day and twice on Sunday

Fire them all!! Boycott them all! “The companies behind the inauguration attendees’ fortunes have been some of the biggest losers, falling by a combined $1.43 trillion in market value since Jan. 17, the last trading day before the inauguration,” Bloomberg reported.

Oh fabulous let’s do Whole Foods next.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

US MAGA Republicans are canceling all town halls. You sent them into hiding. Good work. 🫡 #3E

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

This says it all

I warned you all. Elon Musk changed the rules so he could take over IT at all federal agencies and departments. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Have confirmed the same. Truly fucked up. And, should go without saying, illegal.

Costco is definitely the place to shop. Pass it on.

“When you start to pay attention, you can really recognize that fire is a life-giving force,” she said. “And that switch in your mindset is really transformative.”

For millennia, the Karuk people in Northern California have used fire to actively manage forests. Murphy Woodhouse and Bill Tripp join us to discuss how the tribe is training others in this practice.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
